Christopher Reeve Died Yesterday

I don't know why this gave me a shock this morning. It's not like it's unexpected, or I knew him or anything, although I did have a schoolgirl crush on him. I think maybe it's simply BECAUSE he was so injured but hadn't died yet, I kind of started to think he never would. Like maybe, even though it makes no sense, I thought I could count on him to beat the odds forever?

It's not often you get slapped right in the face with proof that you've been carrying around a delusion. Weird.

I hope his family is able to find peace with his passing. He was certainly a man they could be proud of.

Did you come here looking for JEN?

Like most every girl baby born in the 70s, my name is Jennifer. I'm a total sci-fi geek, homeschooling mother of four (two singletons and twins), who's been married to Davin for 15 years now.

I don't know how Jesus puts up with me, but He does, and I'm grateful. I just keep trying to do the whole "as I have loved you, that you also love one another" thing even though I really suck at it sometimes. But, wow, wouldn't everything be so much better if we all lived this?

This blog is mostly just stuff that is funny or interesting to me, sometimes it's even about my kids...but not usually. ;-)
